the big concern was there's a 10-foot propane tank back in the storage area, which was close to the fire. if that had ignited, that would have been serious problems for everyone here so there's a row of apartment complexes and homes that they evacuated those residents temporarily. i believe they have been allowed to go back into their moments. right now we have matt gunnar son the mountain view depth fire marshal investigating. it was a two-alarm fire that broke out around 1:15. they are concerned that there may be a possible arson investigation going on right now. they don't have any clues as to what may have caused the fire. the trucks were completely empty. eight of them were burned. right now week, still waiting for more information. we do know, however, there was aside from eight trucks no damage to any of the property and no injuries. we are live in mountain view. grac back to you. >> do you have any idea why this would happen? this is the beginning of the arson investigation, i know. >> reporter: yeah. it is the beginning of the arson investigation. what we were told, they may be

let's do big things. let's get our fiscal house in order. but let's do so without imposing higher taxes on the small business people that we so desperately need to start hiring again. and the gentleman from maryland loves to talk about those corporate loopholes. he loves to talk about corporate jet owners and the kind of preferences that exist in the code. the gentleman from maryland knows all too well. he and i were in discussions for almost seven weeks when i said again and again that we would be happy to engage in a discussion of tax reform to get rid of those loopholes. the gentleman also knows that those loopholes and the costs associated with those loopholes pale in comparison to the problem. so i know it makes for good politics to go throw the shiny ball out there, madam speaker -- mr. van hollen: will the gentleman yield? mr. cantor: i will not yield. to throw the shiny ball out there that somehow the republicans will sustain these preferences when all along in our budget and in our plan we have said we're for tax reform. we have sai

next up, big one, reforming the tax code. headline is they want to cut the number of tax brackets in half. now, there's six. they want three tax brackets and the goal of reforming the tax code overall is to raise a trillion dollars and the trillion dollars would also come from getting rid of some tax breaks and tax deductions. tax breaks for home mortgage interest and tax breaks for employer provided health care would go away but some of the money saved there would actually lower taxes for some other people and the plan also strictly tightens the government's budget process, they say and make sure social security stays afloat for the next 75 years. now, president obama gave this plan a thumbs up yesterday. republican majority leader eric cantor also said he thinks it's got some constructive ideas but the senate's top democrat, harry reid says he doesn't know if it can physically be written up as a law in under two weeks. guys? >> yeah, and so this is an outline -- thanks a lot, peter doocy. so this is an outline. they got to

they say a big journey starts with a single step. we are not willing to take even in this small area the most modest of steps. hagerstown, maryland, north of here, 78 miles from the airport. getting a subsidy of over $800 per flight. it's right here baltimore as well. montana, 60 miles from another essential airport in montana, just 60 miles you could drive over to sydney, no, they are asking for $1,300, subsidy per passenger flying from glendive under this program. new mexico, 89 miles from a hub airport in el paso. if this continues, getting a $1,563 subsidy instead of driving 89 miles. you can rent a car. this is becoming -- this is a profligate hard to defend use of the taxpayers' money. yet people are talking about turning -- closing the government down or the f.a.a. down unless they can spend, $1,500 to subsidize a flight when you can drive 89 miles to another airport. this is what we are talking about. this is why my constituents and many others are wondering when we are going to get serious out here about taking the modest st

and to reward the wealthiest 2% of our nation with tax cuts and of course big business with tax cuts. the republican majority wasted a crucial day of debate instead of protecting and working on the financial security for our nation. we could have debated a strong jobs agenda like the make it in america agenda the democrats have. we could have discussed how we can strengthen partnerships with businesses to retain america's workers for the jobs that are actually needed here. but what did they do as one former republican budget advisor called it? they debated something that was, and i quote, a misleading political cheap shot. the republicans cut, cap, and balance act is harmful for this country, and it's not a serious proposal. it's not going to be signed into law. they wasted our time. so i am glad that that bill is dead on arrival in the senate, but i really wish, i really wish they would get down to working for america. i yield back, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from florida seek recognition? >> thank you, mr. speaker. by direction of the c

there is a big difference in science. something can be associated with something. doesn't mean it causes it. and on the base basis of that the secretary committed this country to make payments to people for disabilities that are not associated with their service. so the point is, in a limited budget going forward, if we're paying for disabilities that aren't associated with service, that means we're going to have less money available to those veterans who do have a disability for their service. and we've heard, number one, that this will reverse all that have been made forward. it will not. it's prospective only. it will not change the presumption that if you were in or above vietnam, you have the presumption of being exposed to agent orange. that won't be changed at all. the previous scientific diseases that are based on causation won't be eliminated at all. but, in fact, those that aren't associated with cassality will be eliminated. now, will they be eliminated in the future? if the science at some point in time shows us that there is a causal relationship betwe
